The snowy weather conditions across the country have taken their toll on the day's football, with a number of games across the football league having to be postponed.

Three games in the Championship – Blackpool v West Bromwich Albion, Scunthorpe v Ipswich and Cardiff v Leicester – will be rescheduled after inspections ruled that the pitches were unfit for play.

Wycombe Wanderers took the unusual step of asking their fans to bring shovels to Adams Park to help clear the snow from the approaches to the ground in order that their League One game against Oldham might still take place.

"While the pitch is in a perfect condition for playing, it is the car park and roads leading to the ground which need to be gritted and cleared of snow and ice in order to ensure the safety of supporters attending the game," said a spokesman.

"Club staff have been working since dawn to clear snow and spread grit on the access roads to the stadium, but would appreciate help from supporters who live in the High Wycombe area who may be able to make their way down to the stadium to help with the task this morning."
